SUMMARY
This item is a response to Council direction for staff to create an exemption from the exterior building materials
standards for traditional farmsteads (barns). The Council referred this item back to the Planning Commission
and directed staff and the Commission to draft more specific language regarding siding and roofing materials as
well as to inventory properties this text amendment may impact.
During the June 10, 2003 Planning Commission meeting, staff presented an inventory of significant barns in the
western portion of Rosemount and a revised copy of the zoning text amendment for traditional farmsteads. The
Planning Commission reviewed this information and heard comments from Gary Raak of 13429 South Robert
Trail. Based on this information, the Commission designated seven properties as eligible for the traditional
farmstead exemption and directed staff to revise the text amendment language to be more specific regarding
both siding and roofing materials.
To make the text language more specific, staff contacted members of the siding and roofing industry to learn
about the characteristic of these materials. Based on this information, staff revised the text amendment
language to include standards for thickness, color, texture, orientation (vertical or horizontal), and lap width.
Staff presented the modified text amendment language to the Planning Commission on June 24, 2003. During
this meeting, the Commission reopened the public hearing and heard no additional comments from the public.
After some discussion, the Commission unanimously recommended; that the City Council approve amendments
to Section 7.2.A.6 regarding exterior building materials for accessory structures in the RR, Rural Residential or
AG, Agricultural Districts and Section 3.2 adding definitions for both Barns and Pole Buildings. A copy of the
text amendment language approved by the Planning Commission is attached for your review.
